I've been thinking about the same thing. My thought was a box that opens at the top with individual compartments. You would put the decoys in nose first.

Kind of like the old time glass milk bottle carriers.

Im thinking of lining individual trays, 3 or 4 layers of them and will have individual compartments for each decoy. It will be a flip top box and hold all my deaks, spinners and spoon and keep my phone dry.

I built a wood box w/ flip up top. a top tray like in a tackle box to keep my spinner and daredevils in. then when you lift out the top trays it looks like mail box slots or a tic tac toe board if u know what i mean. I sized them all the same so that they are big enough to accomidate my biggest decoy. I put some rubber belting on the top cover so u can use it for a step stool. or seat when spearing. oh ya! and Laska. If you dont have enough empty crown bags to put ur decoys in you better get to work!! wink I cant remember where all those CR bags came from

I keep my decoys in? winkwhistle

LOL...he can carve an amazing looking decoy in full detail but cant figure out a box... J/K!!!!!! Yea we do need suggestions because they will get beat up real fast in those dang totes we use.

LOL grin and I'm sure that he's yellin for another deit pepsi and a smoke

Try an old Coke bottle case style box or pattern it off of that.

Ive been wondering how to build something myself casue the little red/white decoy that I got from you seems to have lost a fin on one side cry but it still swims great just looks funny

little outta my price range is all fish4u, to buy the the boxes then line them and everything will cost more than I wanna spend. I want to go with wood because I have more wood than I know what to do with.

Ill be puting plans on here tonight or tomorrow of what Im thinking and so you guys can see the process!

I have made a decoy box but it gets a bit heavy if your not driving out with the truck.

I keep all my decoys in stocking hats you can usually get 10 for $10 at the dollar store. This year I traded a decoy for a soft fleece hanging decoy bag. It has a flap that covers the pocket and I just unroll it and hang it in the house. That's been the nicest set up yet. Best thing you can do is always bring your decoys in the house after spearing. The only time my decoys get cold is in the water.

I'll try and get some pics my decoy bag up later.

    • Yeah it was a beatdown
    • Your kid needs to stay with him!👍
    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
